We had a bungalow with garden view. The room is spacious, the bathroom not. Everything could use a little updating. There is a mosquito net over the bed. On the top of the walls and windows are screens. This is very important, because there is no a/c. There are no electrical connections to the park hotels. Everything runs on generators. These generators run only a few hours in the morning and a few in the evening. Then it’s lights out. Not a problem for us since we were very tired at night. If you can’t charge something electronic extra they do it at the front desk. Buy water at the entrance of the park at the Super24. We got an 8 liter container and filled our water bottles when needed. Otherwise you have to buy too many little bottles at the hotel or from vendors. The restaurant is nice and has a good selection. The prices for the location are reasonable. They prepare everything at ordering. It takes time, but I assume they have limited refrigeration capacity to keep a lot at the ready. Staff was very friendly. It got very hot during the night and the fan stops running at one point. It was very nice to have clean and fresh sheets and towels every day. You are in the rain forest, which is a noisy place with howler monkeys and lots of birds. The pool is a life saver on a hot afternoon. Unfortunately it wasn’t very clear. We didn’t get sick, but it didn’t look appealing. The grounds are very pretty and well kept. Parking is free. Overall I would go back.

You’re super close to the Tikal archeological park which is great. You’re practically sleeping inside of it. The only downside is that the electricity cuts out every night so It can get a bit hot without the fan working, but other than that it’s clean and the staff are very nice and super helpful. I would go again.

We throughly enjoyed our experience in Tikal. Tikal Inn was just okay for us. I thought I had booked a bungalow not knowing they had rooms inside the kitchen/office building. I was of course disappointed in my assumption. The site advertises the Inn has limited electricity. What’s not advertised is the cabinas/bungalows have electricity 24 hours a day. Because our room was in the main building (again not advertised) we had the limited electricity. To add to this, the hours the electricity was on was when we were in the park. Our room was clean however the bathroom sink smelled really bad of sewer when the trickle of water was turned on. The shower had a trickle of cold water as well. We were looking forward to cooling down in the swimming pool but refused to get in it as the water was very milky. There is a tile name of Tikal Inn in the shallow end but you could barely read it through the milky water. We chose not to eat in the restaurant rather at the hotel next to the Inn. We absolutely loved Jessica at the front desk. A very pleasant young lady. We felt the advertising was very deceiving. Had we been 30 years younger maybe this would have been fine. We would stay again in the bungalows. Our friends were in one with their full electricity and ability to take a shower in the light. It was very cute.

Spent 4 nights here. Wonderful place - quiet, wildlife, close to ruins. Richard and Jessica in front office were extremely pleasant and helpful. Food and restaurant staff good. Local guide Nixon is very good. Only negative is the rooms could use a bit of an upgrade and it is my understand that is to happen soon.

Definitely worth staying here rather than in Flores. Being so close to the park is a huge plus. The staff is very nice and speak very good English (helpful if your Spanish isn’t that great). We booked sunrise, sunset, and archeological tours through the hotel and were paired with our guide Nixon who was great. We also toured yaxha at sunset which was further away but very beautiful. Tours were affordable and worthwhile. Licuados (smoothies) at the hotel and the pool onsite were great during the hot parts of the day. We stayed two nights but I wish we had stayed three or four as there is so much to see and we felt a bit rushed with our personal exploration. Being in the jungle, wifi can sometimes be spotty but it’s impressive to me that they have it at all. Enough power to charge your phone and necessities 24/7. With a fan in the room we stayed a comfortable temperature (got chilly at night). Be prepared to buy bottled water for 10q as the hotel will quickly run out of free filtered water if there are many guests. Not a huge deal but you should be prepared. You can pay with credit card at the hotel but you should bring some cash with you for outside of the hotel because there is no atm. We would visit Tikal again and stay with Hotel Tikal Inn.

Hotel Tikal Inn is steps from the entrance to Tikal. It has been around since the 60s and it is well designed and totally charming. They offer guided tours including sunrise and sunset tours, which I highly recommend. We arranged the sunrise tour with the property and it was totally worth it (bring a flashlight or headlamp). If you’re a wildlife lover, you definitely want to stay within the park and hear the jungle come alive in the am. Other highlights from our short stay: hot water shower; fan worked 24/7; mosquito nets (even though I didn’t see any bugs in the room, nice to have); plenty of parking; restaurant accommodated us even though we arrived near its closing; pool (which we didn’t have time to use) and very friendly staff. Breakfast was particularly good. I will absolutely come here again and stay for longer. Tikal is fabulous, but equally so is the wildlife that surrounds it and the best way to experience both is to stay within the park. Great adventure!

The Tikal Inn is the perfect place to stay while visiting Tikal Park. The rooms are simple but clean and comfortable. No air conditioning so it can be warm. We stayed next to the pool that was very well kept and great on a hot day. Only issue was some staff let people smoke next to the pool and hence next to our room. I understand that was against the rules normally but we spent two days with a lot of smoke

Does the job, incredibly friendly frontdesk staff
The hotel needs renovation but otherwise it's fine for the price (78 US dollars per night). We stayed there for two nights to have the time to explore Tikal at sunset and sunrise. The room was spacious with two comfortable double beds. There was hit water which is a plus in the jungle. The hotel is literally in the jungle, so you can see toucans and monkeys in the garden, which was amazing. The swimming pool was a nice plus to have and it stays open until 9pm so we could use it in the evening after a long day walking in the park. Food at the restaurant was average, I'd recommend exploring other restaurants in the park (esp. the Jaguar Inn). The nicest thing about this hotel was the staff: Ricardo and colleagues at the front desk were the most helpful people we came across in a long trip through Guatemala and Belize. They really care and do a great job.

A unique experience in the jungle.
Great 3 day stay in the jungle. Arrived in the evening, explored Tikal the next day. Allows for a full day of exploration over extensive Tikal grounds. Tours rush you and you miss some of the outer areas. Enjoyed a day in the jungle on the last day. Evenings are supurb listening to the sounds ofthe forest. Restaurant on site.

I can only say good things about Hotel Tikal Inn. Helpful people all around the reception and restaurant. Excellent outdoor pool. We were lucky to get an air conditioned room with 24h electricity which is pretty rare in the Tikal area. And I got helped out with the discharged battery of my rental car.

A wonderful location to explore Tikal from. The staff are all very helpful and polite. The guides are excellent. The accommodations are a bit dated and rustic, but clean and comfortable. I especially enjoyed the pool area and surrounding gardens. Good food and service in the restaurant and periodic WiFi access. You are in the middle of a remote jungle, so moderate your expectations accordingly.

A fantastic stay. They allowed me to check in early. The message from Hotels.com said check-in was at 0900 but it actually is 1500 like everywhere but my room was ready so they allowed me in. The power schedule was not a problem. Pool was great after a long hot day in the ruins. Everyone from check-in to check out were great and courteous. I had no problems being a mostly english speaker. Food was great. Thank you for the marvelous stay.

The property is walking distance from Tikal's park entrance, which was great, the beds were comfortable, and overall cleanliness was on spot. The staff was accomodating and friendly. The highlight of the place was the we were woken up by actual howler monkeys, which was a very cool experience. Be aware that electricity is limited and power generated, but if you organize yourself you won't be too inconvenienced about it. The property is dated, which I think is understandable considering its location.
